Nobody is promised a shirt. We'd be running things really badly if they were. Really nothing to get too upset about with this situation. An expensive signing that hasn't worked out for the player, unfortunately. Difficult to see why anyone sensible has a problem with it - he's not got in the team b...

Of course we can, as evidenced by the fact that we've had one for the last 18 months or so and haven't been relegated or gone bust.

But waited 4 windows for a midfielder - yeah get your drift

BOYSIE31

But we can and we have. It has not cost us 15m because we have an asset worth probably circa 15m. You are really not getting it are you......the fact that he has acted like this could knock some money off his price but we should get most of what we paid back... If you compare this squad to the one ...

BOYSIE31

That’s just nonsense. With 4 straight seasons in the prem we can afford 15m players not making the bench....what we can’t afford is not having players ready to come in to cover injuries to Mee or Tarks. Not sure why some people on here don’t understand yet that we have moved into a bigger pond wher...

They will be in serious trouble if they do put him on the bench when he’s not their player

I agree with this statement from Tony - but you dont spend 15 million on a back up

A bigger club than us will do but we cant be doing that.

BOYSIE31

Mr Dyche doesnt make mistakes, it's all part of his master plan. People thought Wells were a mistake, and luck how that panned out. We arent having the best years we are ever likely to have because the club is making mistakes. I agree a great time to be a fan but look at the amount of money being w...

Maybe why Garlick is reluctant to loosen purse strings. We can’t afford to make these kind of mistakes too often.

Yes they have in the last 4 or 5 games but I am asking about before that

To provide experience as we adapted to the premier league. I don’t think you are getting that not everyone can play and be a success in a 25 man squad. Some will not work out, inevitably

Are you adding crouch and Hart to that ever growing list - pieters is another

BOYSIE31

Fair enough. Everyone has an opinion. I didn't actually say Ben Mee was good in the first half of last season. I said he was one of the better performers. Let's not forget that the whole team seemed to had forgotten what made Burnley what they were during that period. Listening to some, you would t...

Tarks cost 3m worth circa 40m Mee worth 10m more than purchase Lowton, Taylor, Westwood, Barnes the same Rodriguez, Wood worth more than purchase price Pope cost a few mill worth north of 30m Even the failures of Vydra and Gibson will be smallish losses at worst.... Get off your football manager ga...

BOYSIE31

Were you the one voice against this signing when it happened Boysie? And how much should the club have spent on a center half? You bitch when they spend and you bitch when they do not spend. Have they done anything well in the last 10 years in your opinion? No I was quite happy as I thought he was ...

If we’d paid 5 million for Gibson would you be taking this news a bit better?

Yes that's acceptable for a back up player

Tosh. What’s the net spend/value of the squad compared to 5 years ago....it has clearly been an absolute disaster....for the doom mongers

We have blown 26 million on him and vydra and wages but have not had the cash to improve our first eleven in 2 seasons

BOYSIE31

Not heard it but the last person you’d want commenting would be another player failing to get any playing time under Dyche. After his impersonation of a fish in the desert at Basaksehir I would take anything spouted by Walters with a pinch of salt And that I agree with you - another freeloader afte...

BOYSIE31

Can you let me know a run of games where Mee was poor and Gibson was fit and ready to step in? Even when we were having our rough patch during the first half of last season (when Gibson was injured, incidentally) Mee was one of the better performers. It was Tarkowski who blew a bit more hot n cold....

BOYSIE31

Unfortunately this is the prefect piece of news to get the likes of Boycie away from selling his second hand cars...and on a tirade I’m not sure how you can expect Dyche to get us comfortable in the premier league whilst making money on every transfer and playing everyone in the squad regularly. It...

BOYSIE31

Good point. I wonder if Long may end up regretting his career, yeah plenty of money in the bank (you’d assume) but you’d think most footballers would want to actually play football occasionally ? I have mentioned this loads of times but if course just get shouted down on here . I would have moved l...

BOYSIE31

Sorry Boysie, I've never understood the logic of sending a disgruntled player to train with the U-23's. Surely you're punishing the kids as well as the player? He's not going to be a great example to the kids while he's stewing & seething. It wouldn't happen in any other business...... higher earne...

Didn't he? Kevin Long carried him that night and Will Grigg wasn't even on fire.

To be fair i have seen numerous Burnley centre halves run ragged by lower opposition over these last 7 years under Dyche in cups

BOYSIE31

To be fair BOYSIE, what has there really been to criticise post Howe? The odd crap transfer window/poor run of form but it’s basically been the best, most consistent period of success the club has had in the last 50 years. R.e Gibson - he looked a great signing and hasn’t worked out. That’s literal...

BOYSIE31

Grow up and go and look - there are posts, articles all over the place where I've been critical but you don't understand the word critical do you? You just sit there waiting for any reason that you think you can justify so you can slag off the club. Seriously, I think you are unbelievably pathetic....

BOYSIE31

1) I don’t care what people from the “outside” think of Burnley. Compared to what is happening at most premier clubs we are a shining light of virtue 2) I really think that you are an idiot that should go and follow a different club (or sport) because you will never ever be anything other than unha...

Stop being an idiot.

The vast majority on this board (including CT) have criticised the club at various points in the last 7 years because we all know its never going to be perfect - go and look up the word "perspective"...it might help you.

Ha another melt - show me the points ?

BOYSIE31

What a surprise the usual suspects whining like cats on heat again. The same people who are now questioning why we signed him would be whining if we hadn't signed him (or other established CB) if Mee or Tarks had got an injury or suffered a prolonged loss of form. The same people whining that we sh...

Ha so you think it is quite normal to send a player who was the club joint record signing on 50 k a week to train with a fellow club - because it is far from normal - but does not surprise me on here from the people who i knew would reply.

BOYSIE31

And you know that how ?....it`s not like you have a great track record in understanding our finances is it ?

Lucky for us that Tarkowski has been more professional than Gibson and was prepared to bide his time Sorry you dont go out and spend that kind of money for a return in 2 years - that statement is just plain stupid. Its an instant return as he was 25 and had a decent season already in the premier le...

BOYSIE31

I'm just glad we didnt sell him/loan to Watford or another because only having 1 fit CB as cover, and that man being Kevin Long would have been a crazy gamble, rardless of money made or wages saved. Least by banishing up to Middlesbrough means we can still still pay him his wages, any potential fee...

At what point this season do you honestly think Gibson should have come in. Liverpool rotating - and how often is it Virgil van Dijk's turn to miss a Premier League gam...

BOYSIE31

I thought it was outstanding business at the time. He wasn’t signed to be third choice but to be part of the squad and who knows what might have happened had he not needed two bouts of surgery. Why would you rotate central defenders? Recipe for disaster that. But don’t let logic and common sense ge...

Really? We needed a central defender.

Does that mean that any player at any club that doesn't work out is a bad signing? You dont spend that kind of money on a third choice centre half - we had Long (who i dont rate) but you go and get the next up and coming youngster who has played some league football and will come to Burnley to cont...

Doesn't matter how difficult the market is, there will always be signings that don't work out. We haven't let him go, he's still under contract to us, but I suspect he'll be gone in the summer should an acceptable offer come in. I'm sure we could have let him go to Watford had we been prepared to a...
